If you want to print the number of bytes use %zu. But why should the user care if it is 10 bytes or 100 bytes that could not be assigned? If he is out of memory here anyway the system is messed up.

Can you please clarify what you want me to do? Otherwise, I cannot submit a next version.

I would suggest to leave the size information away.

ret has type size_t so this has to %zu.

Think of a non-developer user who bought a device with pre-installedö U-Boot. What would he do with the error code?

Ditto.

I would suggest to leave the return code away.
